A post-scrutineering summons to the Williams Toyota and BMW
Sauber teams based on the temperature of the fuel in the tanks of
Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld closed out with a
whimper.

According to article 6.5.5 of
the F1 technical regulations, "no fuel on board the car may be more than
10 degrees C below ambient temperature," and measurements of the BMW and Williams
fuel temperatures taken during the teams' pit stops
exceeded that limit.

However, the stewards decided to treat this as only a minor technical infraction,
and not to assess penalties against the teams and drivers. As a result, Kimi
Raikkonen's first world championship stands confirmed, and the Finn can
continue his celebrations with his mind at ease.
